@surgicalrnguides: Do you know the differences between a 10, 11, and 15 blade we use in surgery? #10 blade - large curved edge for large incisions. Ex: open belly cases. #11 blade - long, triangular shape with a sharp tip used for precise cuts and stab incisions. Ex: trocar sites for laparoscopic surgery, cutting into carotid artery for endarterectomy #15 - smaller, curved incisions. Ex: podiatry and plastics Let me know what other examples you can share with everyone else!! 😊
